AMERICANISM.
By Anabel Turner.
As a salutation to this essay I
think it may be permissable to de
fine the title to the paper I am writ
ingAmericanism. This means de
votion to or preference for the Uni
ted States and their institutions;
preference for what ever is Ameri
can in this sense; the exhibition of
such preference; the conditions of
being a citizen of the United States.
In ths definition we find a broader
meaning than the average person
acquires from the word Amercan
ism. A synonym of Amercanism in
one sense may be patriotism. But,
just what does patriotism mean? It
means being patriotc to any coun
try. As I have already stated Am
ericanism means and stands for de
votion for the United States.
Some men who we may say are
distinguished characters in Ameri
can minds are: George Washington,
Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ford, Gra
ham Bell, Thomas Edison and Ed
ward Bok. George Washington ex
erted all of his power and influence
for the cause of the United States;
Lincoln also is honored for being
worthy in his devotion to his coun
try; Henry Ford, Graham Bell and
Thomas Edison have all given their
best efforts to their country. Ed
ward Bok, a man we all admire who
came here as a foreign child, grew
to be one of America's most useful
citizens.
Some of the privileges that we
enjoy as American citizens are:
freedom of speech and press, pro
tection of life and liberty.
Some of the duties of American
men and women for citizenship are:
In an honest way help to make and
obey all laws, teaching foreigners to
be useful citizens; live a clean, hon
est American life, striving always
for some worthy cause and eternally
helping the poor and disabled.
In all history it has been said,
"The hand that rocks the cradle
rules the nation." Women have al
ways played an important part in
shaping the destiny of our nation.
Abraham Lincoln said, "All that I
am and all that I expect to be I
owe to my angel mother."
Today we have in congress a num
ber of influential women who are
striving with will to help build our
nation. Who could be better exam
ples of nation builders than Clara
Barton, Frances Willard, Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw, and Mary Lyon?
And in modern history, than the
more about our country and to love our country. We should think and
it better, and are inspired to live I people to think. When telling
anyone to save, we snouia give mem
the reasons for saving.
We should love our flag and its
defenders, and we should have great
respect for our President and all
other officers of our government
The Supreme Court of our land
has charged the liquor traffic with
being the source of crime, vice, and
degradation, therefore it is our duty
to fight this great evil.
We should be staunch defenders
of our nation and its laws, and
should not allow our land to be des
ecrated by those who seem to have
no conscience and no regard for our
laws. The welfare of men's souls
should outweigh the greed for gold.
If we are honest and industrious,
and strive for purity in spirit,
thought and deed, then will we have
courage to meet life's every need;
and we will be found in the ranks
of those who are marching on to
wards the light of a perfect day for
America and for all mankind.
nobler lives.
Time permits us to tell of only a
few of these great men. George
Washington." The Father of Our
Country," should be thought of
first because he was first in war,
first in peace, and first in the hearts
of his countrymen. Washington
served his country for many years,
and never finished when there was
a hard task to be done. Because of
the sacrifices of Washington and his
soldiers we have gained a priceless
heritage.
Thomas Jefferson was called the
"Pen of the Revolution" and was
the only man that could put Into
words the longings and desires of
a brave people, who were fighting
for their rights of which they had
been deprived by their mother
country.
Benjamin Franklin was an inven
tor and also an editor. He served
his country so well and in so many
different ways that it has been said
of him that he was the greatest
man that America has ever pro
duced. Alexander Hamilton was a great
nmn because he was wise enough
to understand that the business of
our country should be put on a
strong financial basis, and thus he
helped to save our country when it
was struggling to gain a place
among the nations of the world.
It was Abraham Lincoln, "the
eentlest memory of our world," who
steered our country through those
pmlous days during the Civil War.
when the North fought against the
South. In a late biography of Lin
coln we find these words: "Never
again since Abraham Lincoln's time
has an innocent man worn a chain
to his foot Since he lived, worked
and fell, all men to whom God has
given the gift of life are born free."
Woodrow Wilson was our Presi
dent during the World War, and w
think that it was through his plans
for a League of the Nations that
the people of the United States have
come to think much of ana are
working towards the establishment
of World Peace.
We will now consider some of the
privileges of American citizenship.
A natural born citizen of the Uni
ted States may vote at all general
elections, and he may hold any posi
tion, public or private. American
citizens have the advantage of free
schools, and access to the public li
braries. American ciitzens have the
privilege of free speech, they may
own their own homes, and they can
worship God according to the dic
tates of their own conscience.
An alien who becomes a citizen
has the same privileges as a native
born citizen, only he cannot hold
the office of the President of the
United States.
A good American citizen should
make use of his vote because it is
the most sacred right of a free peo
ple. He should accept jury duty,
bear arms in war in the service of
his country, the United States of
America, and pay taxes without
evasion.

wife of our good president, Hoover, I Women may foster and exemplify
who stands out as a marvelous
character in history of the United
States.
Almost everyone agrees on the
fact that our soldiers all exerted
heroic and patriotic effort toward
America when they responded to
the call for men during the great
war. Our attitude toward the poor
soldiers who if they have not given
their lives many of them are suffer
ing from being gassed, shell shock,
should be treated kindly and we
should always remember they were
putting their lives in the hand of
fate to help their country. They
showed Americanism. Our flag
should be just as dutifully respected
as our soldiers. It stands for the
suffering of soldiers of America. It
is the emblem of purity and love
and belongs to a great country. Our
country. Every boy can look up to
our President who gives his entire
time for four years at least to the
people of the United States. It
might be most correct to say that
President Wilson gave his life for
America during the World War. He
practically worked himself to des
peration and death planning for his
neoDle.
Would it not be well to conclude
in saying America would be a much
ereater. finer, stronger, civinzea na
tion if each boy and girl of our
country would sincerely put forth
his most fanciful effort to neip car
ry out and make laws. Also to
teach foreigners and younger child
ren the meaning of Americanism
and how they can exemplify Amer
icanism to their junior friends. If
each person of the United States
earnestly puts forth an energetic ef
fort to make good citizens of fellow
neighbors and honestly obey the
United States laws younger people
will learn correct methods of thrift
and will also work for their coun
try and for higher realms of citizen
ship, therefore making the United
States stronger and prepared for a
prosperous future.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of
the United States of America and
to the country for which it stands;
one nation indivisible with liberty
and justice for all.
This means just what I have been
endeavoring to explain to you.
AMERICANISM.
By Miriam Moyer.
America is a great land, and so
I think Americanism must be the
living up to all of the best that one
knows about America, its countries,
and their inhabitants.
Americanism is an unfailing love
of country, loyalty to its institutions
nnd ideals, eagerness to defend it
against all enemies; true allegiance
to the flag, and a desire to secure
the blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity.
True Americanism means appre
ciation and thankfulness for what
all of the great people of our nation
have done and are doing for us.
It was on July 4, 1776, that our
country was born upon this con
tinent, and it was because of our
great men that America won its
Independence and is the great coun
try that it is today. Through the
study of these great men, school
boys and girls came to understand
Americanism by example and pre
cept, by having the right kind of
attitude towards the work done by
our public schools, by taking part
in the charitable work of the chur
ches, by being kind to their neigh
bors, and by fulfilling all home dut
ies to the best of their ability,
By helping to solve the employ
ment and wage problem of our
country, we are helping ourselves
as well as our foreign neighbors.
The square deal should always be
kept in mind, and everyone should
have a share in the prosperity of

and Alice Cason, who will visit at
